So I just added the fuel injector&carb. treatment to my tank, but I have an oil change coming up!

and the STP super concentrated fuel injector cleaner recommends usage before oil change,

Can I add another STP into the same tank of gas or would that be overkill?

No, it's not going to hurt anything.

I'd just stick to what you have now and do teh other next time. I would folow the manufacfturers amount on any cleaner.

I was wondering the same thing. With all the detergents and other additives in modern fuels, additional cleaners should not be needed.
Recognizing that winter is coming, I put Sta-Bil and Iso-Heet in the motorhome tank, but in the vehicles that get used regularly I don't add anything.

Just put in a few gallons of premium gas every now & then instead of additives. Works great!

In what way does it "work great"?

You could probably dump 5 bottles of that stuff in your gas tank, and it's not going to do much of anything - neither good nor bad.
